question for the forum. do the censors go to far in deciding what's good for us to watch/listen to?

No... because there is always somebody that is gonna be offended or pissed off. So, might as well censor the whole damn thing to keep everybody happy.  |

Censorship? You ought to see what's in the papers and magazines in Mexico. You have a dramatic enough death and it's on the front page. There was one guy who was hanging off a bus or pickup (can't remember). It clipped a telephone pole. There's the guy laying at the base of the pole in the pic and the head lines reads (in spanish) "smashed like a moco."
I'm sure his family was proud of that headline. Sometimes a little censorship is a good thing.

i wasn't saying it was a bad thing, i was asking if they go to far. obviously there are some instances where you don't want to see a body with no head, or someone getting their brains blown out. what i was talking about was the smaller stuff, like the imus thing, or artists having to change their lyrics, eventhough sometimes it's for the better, because there's too much bad language or sexual refereces. or the huge fines that they're giving out for people who don't follow these rules.
